Information Technology Services (ITS) provides students, faculty and staff with a tool to monitor their on‐campus printing. Each user is provided with a quota which totals $40 (equivalent to 800 black & white pages) worth of free printing privileges per academic year. This free print quota is provided in two biannual installments ‐ $20 on July 1st for the period which runs through December 31st and another $20 on January 1st for the period which runs through June 30th.
What happens if I don’t use all of my print quota?
Unused portions of the “free” $20 allotment of print quota per semester (January 1-June 30, and July 1-December 31) will NOT be carried forward to the next allotment period.
What happens if I exceed my $20 quota?
Users who exceed their $20 quota during either the fall or spring allotment period will need to purchase additional pages equivalent to 50, 100, 150 or 200 b/w page increments. Purchasing additional pages is done through the “Increase my Print Quota” link found under the Dashboard section of the Go Sidebar within myPlymouth. It is important to purchase only the minimum amount of quota required to meet your needs, as print quota will NOT be refunded upon graduating or leaving the University.
I’m a faculty/staff member, and I don’t have any more quota! Help!
Faculty and staff should use their departmental printers and/or copiers to print/copy materials for their courses, as printing to any public printer will deduct from each individual staff/faculty member’s allotted print quota. This deduction is NOT reimbursed.
What is the Credit / Refund Policy?
The Credit / Refund Policy details several caveats to printing. If, however, you believe that the print accounting system has charged you in error, please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@plymouth.edu or call (603) 535‐2929.
